Gamma Gamma Gamma Gamma Bang Bang Bang!!! I already know that's going to end up being my ringtone at some point. :sweat:
I think there were more plusses than negatives from episode two. I like that they allowed each ranger to access all the elemental powers rather than just assigning them one each (blue uses fire? that's actually a rarity). The 'in-situ' henshin was cool (I hope they don't do them a lot initially then phase them out as ToQger did). White pulling out the old scarecrow replacement technique, plus the intro featuring them flying on kites were all nice 'ninja-y' touches. Shurikenjin Drago looked better on-screen than in the toy catalogs too - the wings are bigger and the head smaller so everything seems more in proportion.
I kinda like the pink ranger so far. They seem to be pushing towards more of the motherly/big sister type with her, which is not automatically better or makes them any less of a stereotype, but is at least a different flavour from most pinks. I buy it from this actress a bit more than I did with ToQ #3, maybe because the others act like they look up to her rather than just telling us that they do. And if all else fails, she's really good at doing the 'cute puppy eyes' thing.
On the flip side, I'm really not keen on the blue ranger yet. He's a bit too far at the 'pointlessly dickish' end of the scale for me, and the actor isn't bursting with charisma either. I'm hoping that, like many Sentai actors before him, the staff will discover what he's good at and start writing the character to play to his strengths. I don't think red has entirely got to grips with his character yet either but with luck that will change with time (again, like many actors playing the red before him). I also hope that they both ease off on the catchphrases a little. Normally I have no objection to them, but at the moment they don't fit the characters. Daigo was at least enthusiastic when he called things Brave! while this pair seem very half-hearted when they insist that everything is hot or easy.
